  • I have just got my new iPhone 4 white and the battery drains quicker than it should. How would I fix this?

    I got my new iphone 4 white 32GB today and the battery drains quicker than it should

    So based on that you're saying around 6 hours discharge? That sounds about right if you're on the web using 3G. Games and apps eat up the battery faster.
    Talk time:
    Up to 7 hours on 3G
    Up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM model only)
    Standby time: Up to 300 hours
    Internet use:
    Up to 6 hours on 3G
    Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
    Video playback: Up to 10 hours
    Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
    Knowing what you were using it for would help

    If this does not help, try again, this time without using the latest backup.
    If you are using push/fetch for your mail, deleting the account and setting it up again after a restart could also solve your problem.

  • MBA 2013 battery drain quickly during sleep after updated to mavericks

    Hi,
    After I updated to mavericks this Tuesday, I noticed the battery drains quickly during sleep mode.
    Before the system update, everything was ok. Each night after I closed the lid, it went to sleep and the battery only droped less than 5% after sleep of the whole night.
    But during the last two nights after system update, it drained more than 50% of the battery during 8-hour sleep. I could feel some heat on its back when I picked it up. I did not change any system setting or installed any new apps.
    my MBA: latest 2013 version, 13 inch, haswell i7, 8G ram, 256 SSD.
    I liked my mba so much because of the long battery life. But now It was really annoying because I have to charge it very often.
    Any ideas how to solve this issue?

    Hi Hans,
    There's another thread going with the same issue as you... check:

    I still haven't seen a resolution anywhere... smacks of something on Apple's side with so many users complaning

  • HT5137 Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

    Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

    There is no way to close all apps at once. When you leave an app , most apps stop working immediately. A few apps will continue to complete the task they were working on. Mail is an example of that. There is a short time limit though after which the app stops running and the state you left it in is stored. Quitting apps does not increase battery life.

  • Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
    First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
    The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
    Good luck

  • IPhone 5S Battery drains quickly, even the phone in standby

    I got iPhone 5S at the end of November. I was a happy customer until 35 days.
    My phone battery started draining with no reason. It just drains, even if you keep the phone in stand by mode. I am scared to answer phones, browse internet or access apps, since it drains the battery. I went to downtown with no car charger with 65% left on my batter at 5:00 PM. I just kept my phone in car and used the Viber to send 5 text messages, one phone call. By 8:30 PM we return back home, the battery is 0%.
    I took appointment with "GENIOUS BAR". When I went there, a lady attended me, and she diagnosed my phone and said, my batter is perfectly good .. and yeah.. GOOD NEWS.. She also, says .. she dont have replace my batter since her diagnose told her that the batter is good.. YA.. YA.. all happies..
    Now, I asked, then why my batter is just draining, she said, it is because I have some crashed apps like Facebook, safari, youtube, viber, casino app etc. She said, restarting the phone also doesn't work since the crashed apps just drains the battery. I said, wow.. that is great, you found the issue.. Now, what is the solution, since we know the problem.
    She said, she has to erase the iPhone and format as a new phone. She asked me if I backed up the data. I know, this will happpen, so I said, I already backed up the data. Now, she erase the iPhone and reboots the phone.. and says.. YOUR PROBLEM FIXED.. Go home and sleep happily.
    I was very happy.. my batter was at 20% when I was in the store 6:00 PM. The drive from apple store to my home is 15 minutes. I drove back and by the time I reach home, my batter is 5%. Ohh.. I forgot, I used my phone once while coming back home telling my wife that my battery issue is fixed.
    Now, is my battery issue fixed?? NO
    Does apple GENIOUS know about the problem?? NO
    I still have this issue.. carrying apple chargers.. everywhere I go..
    Way to GO APPLE.. best customer service support.. I ever got. .

    I had this EXACT same experience. Went to the Apple Store and they told me to do the same thing. So I did a full restore on Friday night. No new apps, no email account set up, push turned off, no texts, no phone calls, connected to wifi. This is how my battery life worked out doing nothing but sitting unplugged on standby at home.
    Jan 10, 11:06 PM - 100% battery
    Jan 11, 3:12 AM - 81%
    Jan 11, 3:46 AM - 77%
    Jan 11, 4:16 AM - 73%
    Jan 11, 5:19 AM - 65%
    At 5:40 AM, because I thought I had thoroughly proved my case (taking screen shots of my battery status), I did a full restore of my most recent backup. Took it into the Apple Store today, and they said the same thing. Battery looks fine, it's not a hardware problem. Because I did a full backup restore, they can't see anything wrong with my phone. The screenshots I took of my battery levels after doing a full restore? Irrelevant. Doesn't prove anything. They use a diagnostic app that looks at the battery usage history of my phone, and since I restored the old backup at 5:40 AM, they don't have any data corresponding to my screenshots. They recommended I do a full restore again and operate for a few weeks to see how it goes. What about my old text messages that I refer to, my contacts, my notes, my call history? Too bad.
    At this point, I feel less like a customer and more like a lawyer who has to prove my case in a hearing at the Court of Apple. I have to gather the evidence, then make my case. But why does the burden of proof fall to me, the customer? I recognize that they want to prevent fraud or stupid user error, but this is ridiculous.
    The whole "use it for two weeks then come back" make me think they're really saying "use it for two weeks and hopefully Apple will have released an iOS update by then that fixes the problem--either that or you'll give up and stop bothering us". You know what? It's working. I'm just about ready to drop the issue, wait for iOS 7.1 to be released in March 2014, and hope that there have been enough complaints like this for them to address the problem, if it is truly a software problem.

  • My iPhone 5 is getting very hot and battery drains quickly.. normal?

    I've been having a variety of signal related problems with my iPhone 5 and I'm wondering if anyone can offer any advice.  From day 1 I have observed that my phone will have poor signal strength or will switch from 4G or LTE into Edge mode, even if my wife standing right next to me (same network same iphone 5) has better signal.  Phone also frequently gets quite hot (to were it's uncomfortable to hold).
    I did a long hike last weekend and in the space of 3.5 hours, while doing nothing but listening to music and taking a few photos, the phone was nearly drained (20%).  If I tried to take a photo it would simply shut down after pressing the shutter button.  I also had no signal (phone was searching), even though other AT&T iphone users around me had signal and were texting, making calls and sending photos (this was from a mountain top so the temps were quite low).
    Apple diagnosed the radio in my phone and said it is fine (good attenuation and no dropped calls).  They recommended that I wipe the phone and set it up as a new phone versus restoring from a backup (what a pain).  I did this and while returning from an outing yesterday I had 3 bars of LTE signal and noticed that with just light browsing the phone got very very warm and the battery was draining quickly.  In the space of just an hour the phone plummeted from 75% to 30%.
    I'm trying to determine if all of this is "normal" or if I should demand a replacement phone.  I have tons of Macs, iPads, iPhones, etc (for both myself and my wife) and I've never seen Apple so reluctant to do a hardware swapout as they were when I was in the store yesterday.

    Did you transfer the backup for your 3GS to your iPhone 4S?
    Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    If no change after a reset and you transferred the backup for your 3GS to your 4S, try restoring your 4S with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from a backup to see if this makes any difference.

  • IPhone 5 battery drains quickly, HELP

    Ok, ive been banging my head against the wall for the last week because of my iphone 5.
    I bought it august 2012
    My orginal battery really started draining quickly 2 weeks ago. when it was dead it would not charge or power up. I brought it back to the shop where i bought and they sent it back because i thought it was under warranty. Turns out because i changed the screen myself a few weeks back my warranty was now void.
    I bought a new battery online and replaced it myself, i left the new battery drain to the red and then charged for 12 hours. it still drained in about 4 hours. rechrged again for 6 hours and same result.
    If there is any body that has any advice for me i would be delighted,
    Thanks for listening 

    Do you also own an iPad?  I have struggled with all solutions to fast depleting battery on iphone 4s (and ipad) since installing ios7. I sync via icloud to my ipad and noticed the b stopped if I powered off the ipad for a day! ios7 must have set up some cycle that drained both devices. Now I have set the ipad to manual (not push) on icloud and diary sync and battery life is back to normal for a whole week  it can last 48 hours with light use- no longer have to keep shutting down all apps and turning off bluetooth and wifi to get through a day! Any one else found the same solution?

  • IPad battery draining quickly - tried everything, please help!?

    Ive noticed recently that my iPad battery is rapidly draining.  I've even noticed a 20% decrease just overnight while locked, which has NEVER happened.  I've googled and research and tried everything possible.  So does anyone have some options I might be missing?
    Using 7.1.2, iPad 2.

    Try this first -  Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • MyCloud Android app a battery drainer?

    One of the users on my unit (My Cloud 3TB) complained that the app was draining the battery. This user uses the Android platform. After un-installing the app, he says, the battery usage was back to normal...
    Since I'm an Apple-user myself, I have no idea if this is a de facto issue with Android users...
    Anyone who has any ideas regarding this? As to why this occurs. Or, what could be wrong... I have a hard time believing that the app would recieve naught but bad reviews if this battery drainage was an issue...

    I have installed WD MY Cloud Android app on my HTC One M8 and have configured the app so that after taking photos and videos the app is backing up all these files to my WD MyCloud (3TB HDD) when phone is in Wi-Fi zone. Since the very beginning after starting using this app I noticed that during backing up of those photos/videos the app significantly drains the phone's battery. After photos/videos are backed up from phone to WD MyCloud HDD the battery usage is back to normal. I am using "GSam battery monitor app" which shows which app drains the battery. I'm using also Google Photos app which actually does the same - backing up all new photos/videos from phone to Google servers as soon as phone is in Wi-Fi zone but I have never noticed any significant battery drain. Any suggestions regarding battery drain of WD MY Cloud Android app?Has anybody else noticed the same battery drain?

  • Why is battery draining quicker?

    M y battery just started draining much faster than it ever has! I could be on it 10 to 12 hours but now half that if I'm lucky. I saw some posts that said to turn off location so I did that but still drains. I saw another suggestion that said make sure programs are not running? How do I do that? Maybe an apple person can put all the suggestions into one post, i had to read 15 posts to get three suggestions. I really want this fixed! It's rediculous that I can watch the batter go from 20% to 10% in just 5 minutes!
    When will we be able to watch all videos with iPads? I get so frustrated not being able to watch any video I want! I should start telling people to not buy iPad and instead put te same amount of money to a laptop.

    Bobby-
    If your iPad is defective, I suggest you contact Apple before the warranty expires.
    To stop Apps, double click the Home button.  A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen.  Press and hold on one until they start to wiggle.  A red minus sign will appear on the icons.  Pressing the minus sign will remove the App from the list, and stop it from running if it is one that continues to run in the background.
    Your battery drain might actually be a calibration problem.  Let the iPad run until it quits.  Then connect it to its wall charger until it is fully charged.  This will calibrate the iPad's battery sensor and make the charge percentage read correctly.
    You are right about the videos, but it is the "nature of the beast".  If it bothers you so much, trade it in on a laptop.  I suggest you look at the smaller MacBook Air.  It is almost like an iPad with a built-in keyboard except it does not have a touch screen.  On the other hand, I think you would miss the many iPad Apps that may not be available for a laptop!

  • All iOS camera apps heavy battery drain why?

    all camera apps on my iPhone 5 cause severe battery drain. Why?

    The battery drain on the iPhone due to the iOS 8 is currently a trending issue which APPLE claims to be working on right now for the next upcoming update.
    Agreed to the fact as the iPhone 5 is compatible to 4G Network due to which the Disable 3G option has been removed from the Cellular Settings.
    You may use some of the below tips to work on the Battery Life:
    1. Use of DND mode the most when possible maybe in the night time or when in a meeting,
    2. A new option available in PRIVACY > LOCATION SETTTINGS > When Using, Always, Never.
    Switch some application to NEVER which you do not use.
    3. Switch the Display and Brightness to AUTO BRIGHTNESS,
    4. Turn OFF the Bluetooth and WiFi option when not needed,
    5. Turn the REQUIRE PASSCODE duration to the lowest option i.e. After 1 Min,
    6. If possible use a DARK BLACK wallpaper,
    7. In the MAIL Setting, turn OFF the FETCH Setting by selecting MANUALLY.
    Let me know if you have already used these settings and still facing issues..!!
